proggR Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 how did you get there? I want to make a room escape game but I'm having a problem coming up with a reasonable scenario why you'd be stuck in a room. Its always been the downfall of the genre to me.

JonnoTheDev Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 You're in a room with 4 solid brick walls and a solid ceiling. There are no windows and no doors. All that is in the room is a table. How do you get out? Answer coming soon.

All that is in the room is a table. How do you get out? Answer coming soon. <overthinking> Well, since you describe walls and ceiling, you don't mention a floor.. therefore, I can only deduct that the room is perhaps floorless (e.g. you build your walls and ceiling structure, but no floor, thus letting the ground act as one)? If so, and depending on where this structure is located (like say hanging half way off a mudslide-ridden terrain due to torrential rain falls), one could simply drop out through the exposed bottom? (take the table with you if you can so that when you are in the raging river, you can turn it upside down and hopefully paddle your way to shore? :-\ </overthinking> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/174712-you-find-yourself-stuck-in-a-room/#findComment-920817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Someone knocked you out and built a house with no windows and doors around you. Simple.

seventheyejosh Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Maybe after (if) he escapes there can be a sequal where he tries to overcome his (probably) enduced amnesia and figure out who would knock him out and build a house around him. With the term house being used very loosely.

PugJr Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 The nuclear apocalypse happened, you are in your underground bunker which ofcourse has no windows and just walls to secure you. When the nukes explode, an earthquake happens near your bunker, collapsing the hallway to the outside world. You are now left alone in your nuclear bunker, windowless and hallless (Thats a fancy word, if it was one.). You now have minutes before you suffocate.

seventheyejosh Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Why would you want to escape to a nuclear battlefield? And why didn't you plan ahead and build a better, more stocked bunker...

All that is in the room is a table. How do you get out? Answer coming soon. Answer 1. You rub your hands together till they are really sore 2. You take the saw and cut the table in half 3. Two halves make a whole 4.

Then found a remote and a battery. Out the battery in the remote. Found a Broom that I can't reach and a small chest I can't open.
